The Speedlite 550EX is a flash made by Canon Inc. for use with their EOS line of cameras. Until the release of the Speedlite 580EX in late 2004, the 550EX was Canon's top-of-the-line flash.

The 550EX flash features an infrared controller that enables wireless control of other flashes similar to the Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2.

The flash head swivels in two directions. The image shows the flash head in a vertical position.
